The same mindset the same logic. The 2016 sale. It was not the sale that fans objected to but the " way or was carried out." I have heard that one so many times. Now Cardiff, Llanelli and Newport are standalone and the best "region" the Ospreys cannot get more than 7000 for a derby. They even. Play at Bridgend sometimes. The product is poor. |

South Wales was one of the poorest regions of the EU and was. getting EU backing. An Ineos factory was laid on by the Senedd to give jobs to soon to be redundent steel workers. Welsh people voted out and many like you favour all decision taken by non Welsh people. People blame the Senedd for their own stupidity |

Swansea pay around £300,000 to the council for the stadium I read a while back. This deal was based on the Council stadium being owned by the council and managed entirely by SCFC. Swansea city get all advertising and I believe the council might also get a cut. The football club would be very within their right to renegotiate if the council a have given the Ospreys ang incentives to leave I would think. The Ospreys are now RIVALS not partners. Someone mentioned events in the new St Helens box. They are going alone and if will be even tougher for them. The Scarlets will be the Rugby side of South West Wales. [Post edited 25 Dec 14:43]

The move has cost the football club money. They will not expect any favours from the football team. There is talk of one of the Ospreys or Sarlets being scrapped so they might h not get a good price there either. |

Ideally 3000-4000 will turn up play ing perhaps £5 each with the food and parking facilities open. Fans on here have been lauding the Ospreys for giving up the synergies which Swansea city provided for them. This could generate £200k a season. They should be looking for separate shirt sponsorship. The Trust could do this to help membership numbers. This will presumably cost the club lost revenue. If the Ospreys ever player entertaining rugby the 8,000 capacity will be too small and they will be locking out their fans. I expect Coleman to rinse them if the want to return for big derby games at the Swansea.com. to get lost money back. |

Yes I agree but the valuation of a notional 50p is used presumably to determine % percentage holding of the club. What % holding arises from the £20m invested. This depends on the notional share price. The higher the club share price the lower number of share to be purchased and the less the minor shareholders are diluted in terms of percentage holding. The Trust will not tell you this. I do (if I have interpreted the figures correctly) The fans hate 'the Yank's but do not appreciate their kind actions. It is the same with Leigh Dineen and his support for the Women's team. How much did Coleman and co buy the club for? Not a lot I suspect. |

The numbers sort of make sense 42,058,434 new shares at a price of 50p a share of a is £21,029,217. There are 164,874,306 shares in the club at 50p valuing the club at £82m. This is clearly overvalued meaning the dilution has been generous to minor shareholders. The 5% protection for the fans holding confirms they will never be of importance and reflects the "wimpy" nature of this organisation. They had it all but chose to look for protection not big money and clout. [Post edited 24 Dec 15:05]

| Forum Reply | Cabango to be revealed as signing a new contract tomorrow ? at 13:28 24 Dec 2024
Who was it who said the presentation was " embarrassing". ? Cabango said this. ""Andy arranged a presentation with all the staff; the chef, the assistant coaches, the kit men, Grimesy was in it, and obviously the gaffer. That was a big thing because they were all telling me how much they want me to be here, and what the club's going to be looking like in the future. It all sounded really good to me, and I gained a lot out of it. I just want to get better and better." Some posters just cannot be relied upon. |

The game hasd no choice but to change. It was not an option but a necessity. Scottish rugby can only fund two teams so how could Wales support ten? The negative mindset of Welsh rugby fans is too blame. The god old days were never going to last. You see this narrow mindset on this forum. The Irish have four good strong regions..Their worst is better than Welsh best. |
| Forum Reply | Cabango and Darling crunch time is here at 12:59 24 Dec 2024
Darling I suspect will not be here next season. I makes sense to sell him now and replace. Coleman should have done this on the Summer. Players string the club along suggesting they will sign when in fact they have no intention of doing so. It is clear from recent performances the players do not believe top 6 is possible. Hull away should have seen the player licking their lips from three point and being up for a scrap against the bottom team. [Post edited 24 Dec 13:10]

If the u21 play at the stadium there is up to 400 or so and free entry. Not sure why they do not charge £2-3 for the foundation tap and go. I give credit to Leigh Dineen for funding them all these years as was reported. Another victim of the bad PR generated by the fans group in days gone by. Coleman intends to keep the Women in the Adran Premier judging by his words. He called it a " seminal moment for football in Wales". Some unfortunate wording I thought actually.

The women's team has been assimilated into the club under Colemans plan. I would imagine they will play at the stadium to replace the Ospreys in the next few years. It is likely the women will press for ever increasing share of the club s budget. This is a natural progression. They will need to get to fans through the door and generate income. |

29 goals in the last six seasons including this one averages out about 5 a season. Under 1 goal in 5 since leaving Swansea. |

Coleman told the fans he called the shots not Levien. He of curse had to work to a budget. We live in a world where team do not buy players if they carry a big fee. Darling is Ok £1m but not £5m. Money is tight. Bristol city wanted him perhap for even less. With an auction it may fo go up to £2.5m . |

He has the 'Brewster syndrome' Prolific in senior football only when wearing a white shirt with a Swan of the right side of the chest. He scored a lot of goals for Potter. Memorably Potter told him to cut back on his "all night gaming" in order to crack on as a full professional. Not sure if that was exactly what he meant or was a metaphor. He then moved him on for a whopping £20m. He has not fulfilled his potential. Like Jamal Lowe he had one season alongside Welsh icon Keiffer Moore. [Post edited 23 Dec 17:10]
